This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.
SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as "Occupational Use Only", meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazW ARN ING ards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the "General Population" in an uncontrolled environment. [. . . ] When a received SDM is displayed, push to cancel the automatic scroll and scroll the message manually.

q Rotate [VOL] to turn power ON. w If the transceiver is programmed for a start up passcode, input digit codes as directed by your dealer.
· The keys in the table below can be used for password input: · The transceiver detects numbers in the same block as identical. Therefore "01234" and "56789" are the same.
KEY NUMBER 0 5 1 6 2 7 3 8 4 9
e When the "PASSWORD" indication does not clear after inputting 4 digits, the input code number may be incorrect. Turn the power off and start over in this case.
I Channel selection
Several types of channel selections are available. NON-BANK TYPE: Push [ ]/[ ] to select the desired operating channel, in sequence; or, push one of the [MR-CH 1] to [MR-CH 4] keys to select a channel directly. BANK-TYPE: Push [Bank], then push [ ] or [ ] to select the desired bank.
AUTOMATIC SCAN TYPE: Channel setting is not necessary for this type. When turning the power ON, the transceiver automatically starts scanning. Scanning stops when receiving a call.

CONVENTIONAL OPERATION
I Call procedure
When your system employs tone signalling (excluding CTCSS and DTCS), the call procedure may be necessary prior to voice transmission. The tone signalling employed may be a selective calling system which allows you to call specific station(s) only and prevent unwanted stations from contacting you. q Select the desired TX code channel or 2/5-tone code according to your System Operator's instructions.
· This may not be necessary depending on programming. 15, 16 for selection.
w Push the call switch (assigned to one of the dealer programmable switches: [P0], [P1], [P2], [P3], [Red], [ ] and [ ]). e After transmitting a 2/5-tone code, the remainder of your communication can be carried out in the normal fashion.

Receiving:
q Rotate [VOL] to turn power ON. e When receiving a call, adjust the audio output level to a comfortable listening level.
Transmitting:
Wait for the channel to become clear to avoid interference. q While pushing and holding [PTT], speak into the microphone at a normal voice level.
· When a tone signalling system is used, the call procedure described at left may be necessary.
w Release [PTT] to return to receive. Hold the microphone 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) from your mouth, then speak into the microphone at a normal voice level.

CONVENTIONAL OPERATION
D Transmitting notes
· Transmit inhibit function The transceiver has several inhibit functions which restrict transmission under the following conditions: - The channel is in mute condition (`Inaudible' condition; " " does not appear). · Time-out timer After continuous transmission for the pre-programmed time period, the time-out timer is activated, causing the transceiver to stop transmitting. · Penalty timer Once the time-out timer is activated, transmission is further inhibited for a period determined by the penalty timer.
D TX code channel selection
If the transceiver has [TX Code CH Select] assigned to it, indication can be toggled between the operating channel number (or name) and TX code channel number (or name). When the TX code channel number (or name) is displayed, the [ ]/[ ] key selects the TX code channel. TO SELECT A TX CHANNEL: q Push [TX Code CH Select]-- a TX code channel appears. e Push [Call] (or [PTT] during MSK operation) to transmit the selected TX code.
